In addition to the other comment, for places and things where you cannot delete yourself, or where you cannot avoid tracking even if you do, you can use stuff like TrackMeNot , which sends out random queries to hide your actual interactions. Got my interest profile on Google completely generic after a few months.

TrackMeNot is a neat idea. Doesn't look maintained but if it still works go for it!

Alternative search engines like Mojeek are a good idea too.
